I have a business idea…now what?!
That’s something I asked myself when the idea of building a parenting platform popped into my head. I felt completely lost, scared, and excited and had no idea where to go or what should I do. I had 0 technical knowledge, 0 parenting expertise, and 0 medical insights—everything I needed to start my idea I didn’t have. Not to mention that I didn’t have money, only a EUR 600 salary from my full-time job and no backup. I was like swimming in a pool without knowing how to and without any life jacket.
I was desperately searching for a step-by-step program, book, or article. Something to give me a list of things I should follow as a first-time startup founder.
I wanted to read something written by a startup founder for other startup founders. To get clarity and get rid of the unknown.
I couldn’t find something to say things as they are, no bullsh*t, so I decided to do it.
This is how this ebook came to life.

My name is Petruța Țuligă, and I’m the founder and CEO of Parentool – the first Romanian parenting app where parents have, in the same place, access to specialists, articles, and development milestones for their babies.
I started working on building Parentool in 2019, and we launched the public version in 2022.
Some interesting facts:
- all our growth is organic and via referral
- we monetized from day 1, and we had our first paid subscribers since pre-launch
- we achieved 3rd place in App Store without any paid advertising
- we are bootstrapped (aka we self-finance)
- when I started, I had 0 technical knowledge, 0 parenting experience, and 0 medical experience, and a 600 EUR salary
- we ended up being on national TV and asked to join a group of entrepreneurs for the European Parliament in Bruxelles
- We now have a community of over 20K users from over 40 countries and 50+ specialists
Apart from Parentool, I was also the Product Manager for a B2B startup. I took them from idea to their first paying clients.
Before entering the startup world, I worked with different companies filling roles such as HR, Employer Brand, Product Owner, and Consultant. I worked with companies like Apple, Google, Microsoft, and Dell.
